LOS ANGELES -- A suspect wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a northern Minnesota man last month has been arrested in California.
The Becker County Sheriff's Office said the 40-year-old suspect was taken into custody in Los Angeles Tuesday.
On June 25, authorities found the body of 35-year-old David Hanks Jr. inside a car in the village of Pine Point. The sheriff's office announced a search for the 40-year-old suspect shortly after.
The suspect turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department, the sheriff's office said. He is awaiting extradition to Minnesota.
